Alcohol
What
Counts
as
a
Drink?
A
standard
drink
contains
14
grams
or
0.6
fluid
ounces
of
pure
alcohol.
Knowing
the
number
of
standard
drinks
per
container
can
help
you
to
count
your
drinks
more
accurately,
pace
yourself
better,
and
stay
within
low-risk
drinking
levels.
Keep
in
mind
that
low
risk
is
not
no
risk.

Although
the
standard
drink
guidelines
are
helpful
in
managing
your
alcohol
intake,
serving
sizes
at
restaurants
and
bars
are
not
always
standardized.
Additionally,
the
alcohol
content
of
each
type
of
beverage
may
vary.
